Tax Cuts

apr09taxcuts

This is the amount of extra money you will get from , if you are one of the 80% or so who do not get Working for Families.

As one can see the biggest proportional drops in income tax are those on the fulltime adult of $25,000. Their tax bill will drop a huge 12.8%.

Those on the average wage of just under $50,000 will get a 9.1% drop in their tax.

Those on $100,000 only get a 4.4% reduction in their tax.

Anyone who was on the fulltime minimum wage (and not on WFF) will have their income increase by $1,043 and their tax drop by $301 (instead of increasing by $219) which means an increase in take home pay of $1,344 or an extra $25.77 a week.

And contrary to the cries from the left that the tax cuts favour the wealthy, in fact the total share of paid by the those earning over $100,000 will actually grow slightly from 29.5% to 29.6% of personal income tax.
